Battle Ballads, the excellent ninth full-length studio album from Faroe Islands-based Viking metallers TÝR is out in the present day on Steel Blade Information!
A crushing, hovering, batch of classical embellished songs that conjure photographs of galloping steeds, clashing swords, and hard-fought victories, with Battle Ballads, TÝR has composed an album that resounds with their trademark Viking steel sound. On the identical time, the band has experimented with new writing kinds and musical strategies and created songs which can be structurally less complicated, but musically extra variegated. There’s no escaping the masterfully meticulous mix of melody and savagery on Battle Ballads.
“We consciously determined to make this a extra direct album with songs which can be simpler for listeners to get straight away,” notes founding frontman Heri Joensen. “With Battle Ballads, there are progressive components right here and there, however we tried to maintain the songs based mostly on one or two musical concepts every, and work on all the things from there. It’s extra concise than our final album, nevertheless it’s extra epic due to the symphonic components.”
As a lot as TÝR would have preferred to put in writing, rehearse, and report with a symphony, scheduling conflicts made it inconceivable. So that they did the subsequent neatest thing. Joensen despatched the band’s ten thunderous compositions to a Danish colleague, Lars Winther, in England, who added the orchestral samples, paying shut consideration to the tone and tempo of the songs so the violins, violas, cellos, woodwinds, and horns complimented the standard rock devices. When the samples have been all in place, the album sounded spectacular, however the tones weren’t completely blended. So, TÝR despatched the album to veteran producer Jacob Hansen (Volbeat, The Black Dahlia Homicide, Amaranthe) in Denmark to place collectively the ultimate combine.
